I fully support this. I know it's hard for maintainers to do stuff for free and people request too much at times. But it appears that the attitude of the original maintainers of this project are actively "hostile" and they're not willing to accept the help from additional maintainers that have contributed fixes and testing. So a fork was in order, for sure. And from the look of the comments on the issues on the fork, it seems that people are happy with the continuity and effort that is being put into the fork.
Open source can be downright hostile and unpleasant at times, so I can definitely understand the frustration. All sorts of shenanigans happen constantly.
- theidel 6y agoYes it's stressing and time demanding. But you are absolutely right about how the maintainers treat other people. At least it is open source. There are quite some closed-source projects that ran into troubles and basically disappeared. I am not sure how they will react since the fork gained some attention now. However it's not my intention to let them look bad in any kind or act like I am better. All I want is a working solution where contributions by the community are acknowledged. But my attempt to openly point that out (issue youtube-dl dying?) basically got ignored and closed.
